Hey all - i have some mysql tables that i want to completely lock down while a script operates on them. Meaning, I want no other script to be able to read OR write to those tables. It seems that if i read lock the tables, i then cannot update them even within the script that locked the tables. But if I write lock them, that does not prevent other scripts from reading them. Ugh. Any way to accomplish what I\'m after?
